That is pure sex.
Also, flip it.
And your chain is way too clean.

My crash replacement came in two weeks ago they took great care of me as well. Very pleased with Orbea. I went with Black again. You ? I took it to Miami a day after it was built up man I forgot how much I like it until I didn't have it for a few weeks.

Sugar Cycles. I prefer the Missouri City location for service, but they have moved all the Orbeas to the First Colony store.
flipped and dirty!

stole your bike
Looks great kwrides, it's a sexy bike that deserves a flipped stem.
How's the Thomson post? I've been curious about trying the setback model because I want a setback post with more than 10mm of set back but less than 25mm.

I just picked up my 2009 Orbea Orca. Everything on it is a hand me down from my Onix except the frame, fork, and seatpost. Here's a bad pic (the shadows are everywhere at this time of day), but it's a start. I'll post some better pictures and my thoughts after getting in about 90 miles Saturday and Sunday.
my Opal and get me an Orca.

So..! I called "our local bike shop" to place my order for the Orca frame size 57. They took down my information only to give me a call back 2 hours later to tell me that the 2009 frame is out of production and the factory is out of them. I won't be able to get my hands on it until 2010 production starts which is in about 3 months.

Ugh!
Have you tried the other LBS that sells Orbea? PM me if you don't know it.
